Immunovia - Exploring new avenues

Immunovia has announced that it needs to optimise the algorithms used in the IMMray PanCan-d test in high-risk patients due to sample collection-related variability, which will delay the first sales of the product for a year from late 2018 to late 2019. Separately, Immunovia has shown the IMMray platform can differentiate between healthy and lung cancer samples with 95% accuracy. On the autoimmune front, IMMray has proven efficacious in detecting patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who tested negative for antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides (CCP) with 90% accuracy, allowing a potential increase of up to 30% in detection rate. Both studies will be validated in further trials. Net cash at end H118 was SEK447.2m. Our updated valuation is SEK3.5bn vs SEK3.6bn before.
